Title: RPG characters thread 2 - *1 new (male) sprite!*
Post by: A�rendyll (formerly Yurina) on Thu 13/04/2006 19:44:45
Hi all,

you did see my other thread, right? I've just finished another character which I also want to get commented. The previous one and this one are 2 of the 3 main party characters, so I'll ask advice on the third too if you don't mind.

Again, no direct image. So click here (http://www.dse.nl/~yurina/gamefiles.htm).

Well?

~Yurina

EDIT 1:

I'll keep a list of all characters already made and uploaded here:
- Kairi (Kingdom Hearts, critisiced in the other thread)
- Hina Ichigo (Rozen Maiden)
- Toya (Ayashi No Ceres/Ceres Celestial Legend) *new*

what kind of rpg is it anyway, except for their anime style, they don't seem very typical rpg sprites. (nothing wrong with that)

Since this is from the same game and even linking to the same page, you should really have put this in the previous thread.

I didn't know that was allowed...
I'll put up my next character(s) in this thread then.

It's tiled and turnbased. I made all things myself.

I just don't understand, most of the RPGs I played were in this style!
Title: Re: RPG character 2 (Yes, another one!)
Post by: MashPotato on Sat 15/04/2006 05:16:19
Yes, most of the ones I have played were in this style as well.  Maybe he means that they're not at the usual overhead angle?  Or because they're not wearing armour and stuff?

In any case, I think those sprites look great (not to mention, completely adorable ^_^).  Keep up the good work!
Title: Re: RPG character 2 (Yes, another one!)
Post by: A�rendyll (formerly Yurina) on Sun 16/04/2006 15:53:58
Well, I haven't really thought about the angle, it's probably the size of the sprite that confuses lo_res_man.

These sprites are based on the "standart" bases which are used in Legend of Mana, Sailor Moon AS, etc.

By the way, which one do you like best of this sprite? The one with light (right) or darker (left) blonde hair? I personally tend to choose for the right, but the left one hase more contrast in it's shadows... What do you suggest?

Yes, that somewhat.

Thats what I mostly mean. I havn;t played many rpgs, but most seem to be with armor and stuff like that.

Ah, I see. Well, the game where I based this one on (Kingdom Hearts) Doesn't feauture much characters with armor, unless they already whore that in the Disney movie/Final Fantasy game where they're from. So I didn't include that in this game either.

I hope this clearly explains why.

Heh the word whore and Disney in the same line  ;) How cute!

Well, the version of Kingdom Hearts I'm planning features anime instead of Disney movies... though I make a few exceptions to explain the story line.

I still haven't decided on the final version of this one. Left (dark hair) or right (light hair)?

~Yurina
Title: Re: RPG character 2 (Yes, another one!)
Post by: JD on Mon 17/04/2006 14:42:08
I prefer the right one with the lighter hair.

Post by: MashPotato on Mon 17/04/2006 19:46:47
I prefer the lighter hair too ^_^

CUTE I wanna play now.

No really really nice sprites!
Title: Re: RPG character 2 (Yes, another one!)
Post by: A�rendyll (formerly Yurina) on Tue 18/04/2006 07:53:35
Okay, it's the lighter version then.

Next question: Should I improve the hands? These are really bothering me with being round balls, but they make animation easier...

~Yurina

EDIT: I messed around with the hands. Is it an improvement?
Title: Re: RPG character 2 (Yes, another one!)
Post by: JD on Tue 18/04/2006 16:46:11
The hands look good now! Though I can't remember what they looked like before you editted them, but they must've been fine since I can't remember them bothering me :)
Title: Re: RPG character 2 (Yes, another one!)
Post by: A�rendyll (formerly Yurina) on Tue 18/04/2006 19:58:31
Well, they where balls existing of only 4 pixels (border isn't counted). I think these look much better, don't they?

If anyone needs to see the former hand version I'll put that one up next to the new one.

~Yurina

EDIT: For those who haven't noticed, I improved the first sprite I made too (in the other thread).
Title: Re: RPG character 2 (Yes, another one!)
Post by: A�rendyll (formerly Yurina) on Thu 20/04/2006 15:58:35
Adn yet again I made a shiny new sprite! It's a he this time, so no gargious ladies this time! ;)

I don't know, but I seem to miss something. He looks perfectly like he does in Ayashi No Ceres (Ceres, Celestial Legend), but still... Any ideas how to improve?

Click on the link in the first post, he's there already. 8)

EDIT: I fixed the link to the character, which was accidentally broken... :P

Your characters are well detailed. I really like them. But why are the hands in such a strange angle? It looks like the chars were balancing.

cheers

Another cute sprite ^_^.  However, I think the positioning of his hands and toes (outward) makes him look too feminine... I think it's a feminine stereotype to walk with one's with feet daintily pointed outward (at least it was in Jane Austen, I believe ;)), and I think it would look better if they were more forward-facing.  The hands going straight down might help too.  I'm not familiar with this character though, so maybe you want him to be slightly girly?

I'll look out for the hands and the feet. These are the front views and I plan on making these frames part of the walkcycle, so thanks for the comment. But now you mention the hands... I think I'll have to adjust the bases and the hands (even from the girls, since I use my base for both genders).

I'll drop a note when I uploaded the new versions!

~Yurina

EDIT: And yet again they have new hands!
